latest xerte and try it again?

	Hi Julian,
	
	That is indeed exactly what I am doing. I am a local
administrator on the XP machine, a standard domain user on the 2000. On
both the users have full access rights to the project folders created on
the desktop. 
	
	Best regards,

		Thanks for the feedback.
		 
		I can't replicate the error. If you make a new folder on
your desktop, right click in it and create a new RLO, double click it to
open it in Xerte and choose File -> Publish, do you still get the error?

			Hi Guys,
			
			First off - I must say I am delighted to use
this wonderful tool. It is a huge head-start for creating accesible
learning content and I had no trouble creating some basic content
straight away. It is exciting to see such a useful tool offered to the
world to freely use. Great work and documentation rivals many commercial
works. 
			
			I unfortunately must report an error I am
experiencing upon attempts to publish my own files as well as example
files downloaded from the Xerte site. When I go to File->Publish I get
the following error:
			
			A dialog box labeled "Error Copying  File or
Folder" with the message "Cannot copy file: Cannot read from source file
or disk" with a Button labeled "OK" followed immediately by a dialog box
titled "pcd_test.rlo" (one of the file names) with the message "Publish
Complete. All files for web deployment created"  and a Button labeled
"OK" 
			
			When I look into the associated project folder,
it appears the template file was copied (as it is from the program
directory). I have not modified the template files.
			
			I looked at the list archives and did not see
any other posts regarding this. I have not used a previous version of
Xerte on any machine here. 
			
			Here is what I am using to produce this error
with Xerte Version 1.9:
			
			Windows XP SP2 with IE7.0 and Flashplayer 9
			
			I also attempted this on another workstation
here with the same result:
			
			Windows 2000 SP4 with IE6.0 and Flashplayer 9
			
			Both workstations are part of a Server 2003
Windows domain. Both have Office Professional 2003. 
			
			Please let me know if I've left off any details
you guys may further need to help me resolve this issue. Or have I
missed a pre-requisite somewhere? 
			
			May I suggest you consider a couple of additions
to the error and publish dialogs?
			
			It may be easier to diagnose such an error in
the future should the "error copying file or folder" dialog box be
modified to contain the names of files and folders that have failed to
copy. It also may be helpful for new users should the box with the
"Publish Complete..." message explicitly refer to the path and files
created (or not) in the publish process. 
			
			Once again, I enjoy using this marvelous tool as
far as I've been able to use it. I hope this error is something simple
that I have missed and I look forward to resolving this with your help.
			
			As another suggestion it would be nice to see
the program requisites and recommendations for OS and associated
programs listed on the web site; or have I missed the listings? 
			
			Thanks and best regards,
